I think EDGE is being implemented for the iphone. Glad we can benefit from it too though.
[Networking] D_JWhite:
now all o2 have got to do is have a data as good and as cheap as web and walk.
[Networking] ratcom:
This is doing my head now....... I am showing a "E" around 10.30pm everynight for a few minutes then its back to the old "G" I just wish they throw the switch in Nottingham ;)
[Networking] andrew_green:
Another in Kent, on the A249 heading north past Sittingbourne.

.....also in Maidstone town centre - had this steady all the while I was in this locale.
[Networking] andrew_green:
Apparently, this is 'imminent' as the O2 Cust Servs peeps are having training on the new products.
[Networking] s4vva:
I am all for improvement and all, but can anybody actually notice any difference in speed whilst using EDGE? I have been using loads recently and I cant really see any speed difference.

Check this out!
[Networking] andrew_green:
It has all gone quiet now...the (2 or 3) spots I found before no longer register. Are others finding the same?
[Networking] ratcom:
Yep I'm no longer getting the nightly flicker .............
[Networking] Gumibear:
I noticed a flicker of it over here in Peterborough but then it stopped. Hopefully it will roll out soon :D :D
[Networking] andrew_green:
It's seemingly ON - in Gillingham now, got Permanent "E"...

What is the difference between EDGE, 3G and HSDPA? and what are the pros and cons?

Thanks,

Sebastian
[Networking] andrew_green:
All I know is that Edge is "2.5G"....
[Networking] sebw36912:
OK, I've found out.

There's a good site about it all, www.gsmworld.com

For anyone else who doesn't know:

GSM - Global System for Mobile-telecommunications - 9.6Kbps

GPRS - General Packet Radio Service - 28-64Kbps

EDGE - Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution - 84-192Kbps

UTMS (aka 3G, W-CDMA) - Universal Mobile Telecommunications System - 384Kbps

HSDPA - High Speed Downlink Packet Access - UTMS with a faster download speed - 1.8Mbps

HSUPA - High Speed Uplink Packet Access - the same as above but with upload speed.

HSPA - High Speed Packet Access - HSDPA and HSUPA put together.

Each one is an improvement upon the last. (except HSUPA and HSPA)

Hope that helps people :)

[Networking] tildesley:
got it in the middle of northampton town centre; al very good; outskirts not at all. but all in good time.

quick question if anyone knows...... is EDGE like GPRS, as in you can't recieve or make calls when its connected?

JT
[Networking] sebw36912:
TBH I dont know.

EDGE allows 3 times more data to be transfered at one time than GPRS, but whether that means that there can be 3 times more users or each user can have a speed 3 times faster depends on the network and how they choose to use the bandwidth.

Give it a try

[Networking] D_JWhite:
i'm back after being reconnected to the network after my mum paid my bill! :-S

i'm not getting edge i'm liverpool city center :-|

i'm not gonna pay £7.50 to o2 for 5 times less data than i get on t-mobile for the same price. i wouldn't be leaving O2 if they had reasonable data rates. love the orbit and my tariff but hate the data rates.

cya O2!

Hi.

My HS-U939 became very slow and unresponsive so I decided to re flash it. I used SP flashing tool. After it were done my phone only shown a white fuzzy screen with lines and faint dots and keep rebooting to the same white screen. I have tried everything but nothing works. My PC wont detect my phone so I can re flash it. The only time my I can see on my screen is when I hold power - & power button. I then get Select boot mode. When I choose recovery the phone restarts to white screen but still don't detect on PC. If chosen fast boot it detects for about 3 seconds and then disappears. When I try booting without battery the device detect and undetected every second. Is it possible to fix this or can I throw the phone away?? Thanks.

[Moto X Q&A] rokersragu:
hi folks,

I'm newbie to rooting phone. Recently installed CM 12.1 on my Moto XT 1052. now i wanna change to some other os. so i did the data and apps backup by using TWRP. But suddenly my phone is getting automatically restarting continuously and not able to use it..

what i need to do for getting back my phone to normal? Kindly Help me guys !! \

Thanks in Advance !!
[Moto X Q&A] lavero.burgos:
Does it automatically restart even while in TWTP? If not then try a factory reset or advanced wipe of data, cache and dalvik cache only.

If that doesn't fix it then download other ROM in a PC and then copy it to your phone using the USB cable and flash.

[Moto X Q&A] rokersragu:
Thanks a lot for your reply !! sorry for late response :( even if i go to TWRP still facing the issue and while restarting USB connectivity is not working.. what do i do?!?
[Moto X Q&A] lavero.burgos:
First boot into recovery and WIPE INTERNAL (MEDIA) STORAGE, reboot to recovery again do a factory reset, if that doesn't fix it then i would recommend you to download a full stock ROM according to the phone model you own.

Once downloaded and uncompressed copy the files to the adb tools folder (Usually ADB is placed or installed under C:/ on Windows) put your phone into fastboot mode (Vol Down + Power button), leave it like that for at least 5 minutes to make sure it doesn't reboot automatically.

If it doesn't reboot then proceed to flash the stock ROM (you'll need drivers and fastboot/mfastboot) but if it does reboot or you can't get into fastboot mode then check this thread: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/how-to-resurrecting-bricked-moto-x-t2629057

[Xperia Z5 General] PalestinianLiberator:
Hey everyone!

Long time lurker, first time poster. This has always been such a helpful forum!

Anyways, I purchased the Xperia Z5 Premium Dual a while ago when I was expecting to travel quite a bit. Circumstances changed almost immediately after my purchase, but I ended up keeping it anyways.

I've experienced a few issues, including the battery draining MUCH faster than on my Z2 [despite all the proper tweaks], and the phone lagging out, GPS being horribly inaccurate, etc. Due to that alone, I considered swapping it for a regular Z5 Premium, wondering if maybe it'd be more stable in any way at all.

My primary question, however, is whether or not being the Dual model [E6883] is going to affect my chances of rooting it? Being a unique firmware, would it be less likely to be rootable? Would I be able to root it with any of the same roots available to the standard Z5 Premium?

Thanks in advance to any insight any of you can offer, and I apologize if this has already been asked, but I couldn't find it.
[Nexus 5 General] Hammerhead2502:
While surfing through the net I found something really interesting for our Nexus 5. It's titled as Maru OS by the original developers. It was the first time I heard about it, so I thought I'll paste it here so that people get to know more about it and if someone has used it, they might share the experience. What this amazing OS does it it turns your desktop to Debian Linux as soon as you connect your phone. That's something really interesting. Wanna know more? Checkout this link here.

If you wanna know about the hardware which the dev supports, try this.

Maru is open source, read it here.

Maru FAQ page for current users is here.

Note - I'm not the original developer. I'm just promoting the devs awesome work. I believe in Maru. Checkout the screenshots to see it yourself. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] FadeFx:
Check this blog entry: http://blog.maruos.com/2016/02/11/maru-is-open-source/

jay... the dev is making it open source...
[Nexus 5 General] sev7en:
Good afternoon, I asked and checked for a build with no success. Does it is only in the developer's hands?

Dont hurry him too much, he is currently preparing code and github stuff and such things. If youd read the post youd know that.

I've already subscribed and am just waiting for him to email me a link to the nexus 5 beta
[Nexus 5 General] Hammerhead2502:
We all are waiting eagerly, my friend. :D He said he'll give links to people in batches as to when they subscribed. I hope I'm not too far down the list. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] silent_bob52637:
I only signed up 10 days ago so I should be in the last batch but hopefully the batches are large and the site is capable of handling the traffic when the links are live

BTW

I been using Debian for the last 3 years on my PC so I'm really looking forward to having it instead of android for carrying round

Also i wonder if the Debian screen could be output via Chromecast/miracast think I will have to email and ask

Edit:

I just got my beta links but will need to download files read the documentation and flash it then I can come back with some first impressions but I'm still waiting for my slimport cable to arrive so can't test the Debian side for a few more days
[Nexus 5 General] silent_bob52637:
First impressions are good not laggy ships with google play but no other google apps has a nice boot animation

Will upload that in a bit need to root it first

Now some screenshots

View attachment 3650982View attachment 3650983View attachment 3650984View attachment 3650985

And no it does not output via chromecast

Also Chromecast app eBay and play music I had to install from play store
[Nexus 5 General] Hammerhead2502:
Congrats man. Sounds good. Yeah, it's very minimal. Did you try it on a desktop?
[Nexus 5 General] silent_bob52637:
Not yet still waiting for my cable to arrive

Not sure if its because I haven't connected to a monitor or not but if its running Debian at the same time as android then I have yet to feel any lag or slowdown

No D/L

Heh, Im the exact opposite boat. I have the cable but no D/L link.

Cm13 installed fine booted fine and I was able to reboot back to maru with no issues

I cant test if the desktop works with multirom as I am still waiting on this cable

i cant find a link anywhere would someone help me out?
[Nexus 5 General] silent_bob52637:
Currently the dev is asking that all beta links are kept private and they expire after just 48 hrs from him sending it

If you have signed up for the beta but received no link then email the dev as your signup may have been overlooked

It is just one man remember

oh that makes sense yeah. hopefully i get a link. how long do they usually take if there is a usual?

[Nexus 5 General] t2bacdp:
Hammerhead2502 I install Maru OS today. It was pretty long to setup it (root, play store) and restore multirom. I don't have any micro-usb hdmi cable but I buy one today!!

Don't know if I can. If dev don't send beta for all there must be a reason.

[Nexus 5 General] Hammerhead2502:
Pretty good even in the beta stage. You should try it. :D
[Nexus 5 General] sev7en:
Maybe it is to have a control about the distribution... I do agree on his way.
[Nexus 5 General] Bubble-be:
I don't have a cable nor a bluetooth mouse/keyboard. Seems a bit over the top to get them to fiddle around. ;)

But don't blame me for being curious.

So, is it a chroot thing without access to phone stuff or is there integration ?
[Nexus 5 General] t2bacdp:
I received my cable and I test it. Some returns :

1. Desktop doesn't work with multirom (problem with kernel I think)

2. Desktop works with my cable (micro-usb to hdmi with power) and with adaptator vga so it can be use with PC-screen but it doesnt fit screen :/

3. I don't find maru OS root password so I cant install app (particulary LyX for works :s)

PS : maru OS dont have play store preinstall so I install gapps pico and I change recovery (original one doesnt work) install TWRP and root maru.
[Nexus 5 General] Joshmccullough:
I'm on the 'wait list' for the Beta, but a question: what cable(s) and keyboard/mice are people using? I don't know if there are ones to stay away from, ones that work great, etc.
[Nexus 5 General] t2bacdp:
I use BT mouse&keyboard. Mouse isn't detect on maru but all is OK on debian. Don't test keyboard on maru
[Nexus 5 General] Hammerhead2502:
I don't have a keyboard so I couldn't actually test anything much. Just tried stuff using mouse. And it was good. However there's a review video which someone uploaded on YouTube, you can check that out to see more about the functionality and performance.

[MENTION=4234902]t2bacdp[/MENTION] - Yeah Maru doesn't support Multirom. It's in the beta stage so we can't expect much from the dev. Even I tried it on a PC and it didn't work. As far as I can say if somebody has a PC, I don't think Maru would be that useful. Maru can be a good replacement for portable tech such as laptops. Instead of carrying a laptop everywhere, one can just carry his phone and get the experience. The root password is maru I think. I remember the dev sending me a page link probably of the faq page which specified the password. Check the page from OP. And yeah installing it and then rooting and restoring apps was a bit of the pain in the ass. Maybe in the future builds, we will get flashable zips. :)

[MENTION=4003224]Joshmccullough[/MENTION] I would advice you to get Slimport adapter as HDMI cables come with the desktop itself. And mouse and keyboard, I think any will do provided it is compatible with Android. :)
[Nexus 5 General] silent_bob52637:
Just got this from preetam

Should be more links going out this weekend

Hey guys!

It's been 3 weeks since Maru launched and I am excited to say that*over a thousand people have now received their invites for the Nexus 5 beta program! Pretty incredible huh?

I am continuing to send out beta invites in batches based on when you signed up. Everyone who signed up on Feb 8 UTC or earlier should now have the beta (let me know if you didn't get your invite!). Feb 9 invites will be going out this weekend, with more to follow next week.

As always, you can reply to this email if you have any feedback or questions and I'll be happy to help.

Thank you for your support and your patience!

Preetam (aka "Team Maru")
[Nexus 5 General] Hammerhead2502:
And i got this. He's working hard. And since the 0.2.1 is stable, people will get the invites faster. :D And more importantly he's working on the traditional flashing way. He's a very humble and kind person. And i would like every one of you to respect his decisions of sending out invites. I'm sure you'll all get it very very soon. :)

Hey Dhiren,

Awesome, glad that it's working well for you!

Can you let me know what the WiFi bug is? I am still on v0.2.1 since I have had no major bugs yet. I've had a few people tell me WiFi can be slow when they first flash it but it soon recovers.

As for updates, I am looking into OTA packages so that people can flash the standard way with TWRP or something. Do you have any suggestions? How are updates normally done in the ROM community?

Right now I am hoping to get to a fairly stable version (v0.2.1 seems to basically be it) so I can open it up to everyone while I get things ready for open sourcing.

Best,

Preetam
[Nexus 5 General] silent_bob52637:
I agree with his comment about v0.21 being really stable hopefully it will be a matter of weeks before it goes to public beta status

One major thing I have noticed tho is my volte no longer works have to use WiFi instead so I cannot make or receive calls while off of wifi

BTW I'm using freedom pop mvn and I don't get any gsm minutes
[Nexus 5 General] tiruri:
Which pico gapps are you installing? I've installed arm pico for 5.1 from here (opengapps.org) but I'm getting "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped."

[Nexus 5 General] Hammerhead2502:
Great news from Dev :D

Hey Dhiren,

Thank you for your great feedback! I am happy to hear that the beta is pretty stable. I may just make 0.2.1 the stable version for now, because it only seems to have minor bugs.

I have not run into your WiFi issue unfortunately. Did you try any WiFi customizations after rooting?

Great explanation for the updates! I will make sure to release a flashable zip for the ROM pros like you who don't need to use an easy installer. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to make the installation process easy for the XDA/ROM community. Yes, the download file is pretty large because I am also including Maru Desktop (Debian Linux). I think I will follow your suggestion of releasing new versions once or twice a month to fix any major bugs.

And absolutely, I would really like to see Maru running on Marshmallow. The next major version will be based on Marshmallow!

Also, thank you for including more information in your thread on XDA. I really appreciate all of your help spreading the word about Maru :)

Best,

Preetam

P.S. Don't worry, I will always help out with Maru development even after it's open source--it's pretty fun to work on!

Is there anything else you guys would like to suggest? I can talk to the dev and make Maru more amazing. :D
[Nexus 5 General] DJxSpeedy:
why using debian and not xubuntu it eats lesser resources ?
[Nexus 5 General] Bubble-be:
Maybe it's also Xfce as desktop environment, so there should be no difference in that regard.

Also debian-stable is (boringly) stable, so a good candidate.
